IT’S not rocket science. If you’re about to drive onto a road and a car is approaching, you wait for it to pass.

It’s just common sense, and something that is drilled into all of us from a young age.

Apparently, no one told American racer Kenny Bost.

Bost’s lack of knowledge of simple driving and racing etiquette became abundantly clear during a Sportsman race at the legendary Bowman Gray Stadium.

One of NASCAR’s heritage tracks, Bowman Gray is a narrow quarter-mile (402-metre) oval built around the perimeter of a football field.

Its tiny confines have never allowed for a pit lane inside the track, like a bigger NASCAR track, so racers congregate in the paddock area on the outside of the track and join the circuit through an opening in the guardrails on the outside of the final corner.

Which is exactly what Bost, in the orange car, did. Trouble is, the field was just about to speed past.

Carnage ensued.

The car of Chad Brooks, running in second place, could do nothing but crash into Bost, bouncing back into the three more cars then slammed into the back of Brooks.
